Media Production - Kansas City, Missouri, United States
We started The Record Machine to be a homegrown independent record label, and over the years, we expanded to organizing events and offering marketing services. Our initial vision was to promote and release music from our hometown, of Kansas City but as time goes on, we also adapt to where we feel like the music industry is going.We aim to work with a diverse group of hardworking and dedicated artists who stand out on their own accord. Our catalog is an eclectic mix; we are proud that it doesn't fit into any single genre but has a unifying, uplifting quality to it. We hope to nurture musicians and connect them with a broader audience. Tim Finn, then of The Kansas City Star, once remarked about The Record Machine's output "[They] have assembled a stable of diverse artists who are making music that deserves national attention."In 2011 we founded Middle of the Map Fest as a joint venture between KC's Ink magazine(Part of the KC Star) and The Record Machine. The festival has grown to encompass everything from Music, Film, Speakers, and Panels in the years since. Artists that we love like Spoon, Grizzly Bear, Iron and Wine, Fred Armisen, OK Go, Lord Huron, Vince Staples, Cold War Kids, Charles Bradley, Aimee Mann, Atmosphere, The Get Up Kids, Daniel Johnston, Of Montreal, Kate Nash, The Joy Formidable, Two Door Cinema Club and so many more have shared the same stage as our own Record Machine artists."It's a great way for Kansas City to show off and, more specifically, showcase our flourishing arts and culture scene," Kansas City Mayor Sly James said in a KC Biz Journal article earlier that year. "Events like Middle of the Map Fest bring crowds of people to our city who oftentimes leave in awe of everything Kansas City has to offer."
